Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Place asparagus in a large plastic bag. Drizzle half the olive oil over the asparagus, seal the bag and shake until asparagus is coated evenly with the olive oil. If necessary, add only enough of the remaining olive oil to coat the asparagus. Place the asparagus in a single layer on a cookie sheet, season with salt and pepper. Bake until tender or crunchy depending upon your preference, about 12 to 20 minutes.
- Tips: (Shortcut chef) Toss asparagus with oil, salt and pepper as directed below and store in refrigerator until you're ready to bake it off. Get into the habit of spending 5 to 15 minutes prepping tonight or tomorrow's dinner during the day and you will be eating in more than out. The weight will come off quicker with home cooked healthful meals and you know it.
- Tip: From mom's lips to your ears: You forgot to tell them to snap off the woody bottoms. Tell em to hold asparagus, one at a time, in their hands near the cut end and snap it like kindling. Mother Nature saw to it that the asparagus breaks in just the right spot, save the ends for stock.
- Morph: Serve one other simple veggie side and a piece of oven baked fish such as salmon and dinner is all done. Cook off extra asparagus and throw it into a frittata, polenta, or pasta later in the week.
- If the Queen's coming for dinner, toss cooked asparagus with fresh lemon, plate and garnish with thin curls of Parmesan.
- Tip: Asparagus starts losing its sweetness the minute it's cut, therefore, as always, look for the freshest stalks possible. Skins should be smooth and bright colored with tightly formed heads.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS SPEARS

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spread out asparagus spears in a large shallow roasting pan. Drizzle with olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake roasting pan gently so asparagus is completely coated in oil.
- Roast in oven until spears are just tender. Cooking time will depend on thickness of asparagus, about 10 minutes for medium-thick asparagus. Pencil asparagus will take much less time; thick stalks will take more. Shake pan halfway through cooking time to keep spears from sticking. Just before serving, drizzle asparagus with olive oil and adjust seasoning.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender asparagus spears for the best flavor and texture.
- Trim the woody ends of the asparagus spears before cooking.
- Blanch the asparagus spears briefly in boiling water to help them retain their color and crispness.
- Use parchment paper or aluminum foil to create the parcels, which will help to steam the asparagus and keep it moist.
- Feel free to add other vegetables, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms, to the parcels for a more flavorful dish.
- Serve the asparagus parcels immediately, while they are still hot and tender.
Conclusion:
Baked asparagus parcels are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are healthy, flavorful, and can be customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish to serve at a dinner party, baked asparagus parcels are sure to please everyone at the table.
